Mark 1:16-28
Christian Standard Bible
The First Disciples
16 As(A) he passed alongside the Sea of Galilee,(B) he saw Simon(C) and Andrew,(D) Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea(E)—for they were fishermen. 17 “Follow me,”(F) Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for[a](G) people.”(H) 18 Immediately they left their nets and followed(I) him.(J) 19 Going on a little farther, he saw James(K) the son of Zebedee(L) and his brother John(M) in a boat putting their nets in order. 20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.(N)
Driving Out an Unclean Spirit
21 They(O) went into Capernaum,(P) and right away he entered the synagogue(Q) on the Sabbath(R) and began to teach.(S) 22 They were astonished(T) at his teaching(U) because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not like the scribes.
23 Just then a man with an unclean(V) spirit(W) was in their synagogue.(X) He cried out, 24 “What do you have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?(Y) Have you come to destroy(Z) us? I know who you are—the Holy(AA) One of God!” (AB)
25 Jesus rebuked(AC) him saying, “Be silent,(AD) and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions,(AE) shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 They were all amazed,(AF) and so they began to ask(AG) each other, “What is this? A new teaching(AH) with authority![b](AI) He commands even the unclean(AJ) spirits,(AK) and they obey him.” 28 At once the news about him spread throughout the entire vicinity of Galilee.(AL)
